I have been at this for about two weeks! I purchased a TK816 tracker from Aliexpress. I have a pretty good knowledge of what I am doing at this point. I know the server works because I have the Traccar client running. Works no problem on port 5055. I opened all the ports on the Chinese clones page. However, I'm pretty sure that it uses port 5013 although I have not been able to confirm this because I can not get this dang tracker to communicate with the server! I have been watching the /opt/traccar/logs/tracker-server.log for any communication. Even did a tcpdump -vv -i eth0 port 5013 -x to verify. If there was data hitting that port I would have seen it.
I reset the tracker and issue the command check123456 it says that it is communicating with the www.mytkstar.net server on port 7700 and the GPRS light blinks. I have confirmed this by going to the mytkstar.net site and looking. It says ONLINE.
Here's the Kicker, If I configure the TK816 with the settings below then the GPRS light stops blinking and I get no communication with my Traccar server or the mytkstar.net server. Nothing. Nada.
Here are the commands that I have issued to the tracker so far.
reset123456
begin123456
admin123456 15555555555 (admin phone#)
g123456# (SMS Geo-location)
timezone123456 0 (UTC)
adminip123456 http://my.domain.com 5013
apn123456 access.point.name (APN)
gprs123456
check123456
*Note
When I reset the tracker the defaults populate and the device will communicate via GPRS. There is a blinking light that says GPRS on the tracker. I am assuming that blinking means it's communicating based on the ONLINE status when visiting mytkstar.net.
If anyone has seen this problem or can help me, PLEASE let me know!
Thank you!

Don't know the TK816. Would be helpful to see the config right after "begin123456".
Anyway I never saw "http://" in front of an adminip and I never stumbled accros a tracker using a domain name for adminip. Maybe you should try this:
adminip123456 your.ip.address port-number
or
dns123456 your.domain.name your-port. Good luck
Sir, I owe you a beer.
I feel like an idiot! The resolution to this issue was actually quite simple and annoying. It turns out that when configuring my device it does NOT want the http:// in the address.
The final configuration that worked is the following.
begin123456
apn123456
adminip123456 your.domain.name 5013
That's it.
Much respect.

You're most welcome.
Sometimes you won't see the wood for the trees ...
Glad it works!
